Bulletin Board: Emojis and Emotions

This project involved creating a bulletin board in the residence hall that would showcase something useful to the residents. It would stay up for a month.  

The reason behind making the bulletin board is a place to put information as well as it being something decorative on the walls of the hall. 

The inspiration for the bulletin board is emojis.

Since I had a small floor this year, I had enough room to make an interactive board that each resident could play with. It was meant as a way to measure how they were feeling and see if they would interact with the board.

I decided to not use a boarder and instead fold the paper so that it had clean edges. 

I first found the emojis I wanted to use. Then I printed ten copies of each. This is the first bulletin board that uses mostly printed material. 

The way that I planned it properly to fit in the board was to measure the board and create an InDesign document of the same size. Then I laid out the format in that document to fit all ten people. 

Then I transferred the font and photos to other pages that were letter-sized to print easily. And when I cut it out, I overlapped the white spaces between words and letters to make it seemless if it was necessary. 

I used a clothes pin for the emotion that they were feeling and thumbtacks for the ones they were not. I started them all on the mad one so I would be able to tell If anyone moved them.
